Publisher's summary

The best and most unique Costa Rica travel guide

Located in Central America, Costa Rica is literally flanked by water on the left and right side, more accurately the Pacific Ocean on the west and the Caribbean Sea to the east.

Costa Rica is a land of true beauty and nobody can really argue against the country’s slogan that has made the rounds of all major tourism agencies selling Costa Rica packages: Costa Rica Pura Vida. This means “Costa Rica Pure Life” and with all the green eco systems, lush rainforest, natural beauty, and pristine beaches you will soon be able to understand where that came from. Let this book guide you to the many places that you must see in Costa Rica to not let your trip go to waste. This book is filled with suggested places to stay, from inexpensive to luxurious, places to visit, local cuisines to try, and places to shop. All these suggested itineraries have been experienced first-hand and are all highly recommended to tourists. Experience a whole new world when you come and visit Costa Rica.

Narration was terrible, content was alright

It was hard to get used to the narration, it was constantly chipper but not in a genuine way or at appropriate times. The content was alright, I wish it shared more about the background of CR. The content had some breadth but not much depth or details.

Good content, disconnected narration

Lots of good information about Costa Rica in a very abbreviated format but the narration is so relentlessly chipper and upbeat without any connection to the actual information at hand since the narrator doesn’t really seem to know the content personally it leaves one with a disappointing experience

Good info, narrators voice annoying

Couldn’t get through all the chapters. Made it halfway and couldn’t take the annoying narrators voice any longer. Would have enjoyed hearing from someone who has been to Costa Rica and could share. This narrator had no connection to the place or guide. Nothing surprising in the content that you can’t get elsewhere.
